To Woo A Duchess (Blackridge Legacies Book 3)
45 parts Complete MatureJane Blackridge has no illusions about herself. She knows herself to be no great beauty, yet she possesses what Society too often undervalues: a sharp mind, an observant eye, and a tongue inclined toward wit rather than flattery. Content to remain in the shadow of prettier debutantes, Jane intends only to endure her first Season with dignity intact.
Nathaniel Ashworth, heir to the Marquess of Worthington, has never known what it is to be overlooked. Handsome, charming, and assured of his place in society, he moves through ballrooms with effortless grace, the object of admiration from every quarter. Yet beneath the polish lies the constant weight of expectation-the heir, the model son, the man who must never falter.
When his attention falls upon the unassuming Miss Blackridge, no one is more surprised than Jane herself. Her calm indifference unsettles him, her quiet humor disarms him, and soon Nathaniel finds himself drawn to the one woman who refuses to be dazzled. What begins as sport becomes something far more dangerous: a contest of pride and perception, where one risks his heart, and the other, her trust.
But when the truth behind his courtship comes to light, Jane's trust is shattered - and Nathaniel must decide whether to defy society's expectations, or to lay himself bare for the for the only woman who ever saw him clearly.
To Woo a Duchess is a Regency tale of sharp minds, subtle flirtation, and the unexpected power of seeing - and being seen - for who you truly are.
